Fracc margins slip, Drill & Eval. margins jump

4Q17 EPS of $0.53 beat consensus/AE at $0.47, with the beat driven by stronger Drilling & Evaluation margins, as international markets posted sequential growth, including higher year-end software sales, and increased drilling activity. However, margins in the core fraccing division (C&P) slipped 33bps QoQ to 14.5%. Revenues were 6% ahead of consensus, with North America +7% QoQ and International +11% QoQ.
